George will be greatly missed. He was a great help with our DHC-1A restoration project, providing copies of technical manuals that the manufacturer no longer had. He test flew our aircraft when it came off the production line in 1947 and apparently flew it again as part of the final Chipmunk spinning trials later that year. It was nice that he was able to have an involvement with our plane that spanned 60 years.

I guess that the man upstairs will be waking up to George taking a Chipmunk for a run every morning from now on (no Canadian winters to sit out up there!).
